Shiner Old-Time Alt
Brewer’s Pride
Appearance: a good copper colored body with a little white head and then it was gone. No lacing what so ever on the glass.
Aroma: faint malts, touch of grains and caramel
Flavors: there is a dry raisin bread malty character, undertone of caramel (have to be looking for it), dry grassy hops and maybe a touch of lemon grass to help add a nice bitter note. As the beer warms up and it is getting close to the bottom of the glass I start to notice a pecan nut or some type of woody/nutty note.
On the first sip I said, this is pretty good, then I waivered a little and now that it is almost gone I wish I had one more.
Mouthfeel: has a dry, lightly sweet, a touch of bitter Alt style. Dry citrus peel lingering note left on the tongue.
My Strength Rating: 5 - a nice tasting Alt. I wish I had a few more to figure out that last quarter of the glass nutty note. If this was on tap at the bar I would buy it.
